2007 – “Trivia: Around the World in 50 Hours”

After several years of drought it was a Challenge Line bonanza in 2007. It was the first year Digital Dave and Fast Eddie (The Leuter Bros) from the Philly clan joined the Posse after years of hounding from Captain F and others. Several themes emerged including a team that had a ham fetish and other teams that acted as porcine enablers.

DD and FE as rookies on the Challenge Line gave good phone to two young ladies who had a talent for licking elbows. It was amazing that the Posse was able to produce a fair amount of original content considering the phone was ringing non-stop; many of these calls were actually worth the effort it takes to produce them and play them on the air.
The Posse once again offered a Stink Rock record, this time featuring singers that left people wondering if it was real, or is it Memorex? Lip Stink was well-received, but paled in comparison to the response the Posse received for its call-in contest: Trivia Idol. (More…)

This INTRO was assembled like a travelogue. It takes about 10 minutes to go around the world. For Trivia players the end of the INTRO is really just the beginning of their journey; and that one lasts 50 hours

The challenge line was pretty active this year between challenges involving licking to all the caterwalling by Trivia Idol contestants. In fact, with all that singing, it seemed like Trivia lasted MUCH longer than 50 hours.

This is a classic hang up call. When the phone rings the Posse is usually in the middle of editing. Usually there is a mad scramble to turn on microphones, don headphones, and start the recorder. Not all callers are patient

Most people don’t like to challenge Trivia Hall of Famer Jim Gray. For many, its his imposing stature. For the rest its his stinging creativity. A friend challenged Jim to sing a popular ’70s disco ballad, and Jim responded with a pantsing of said friend in the most entertaing and slightly cringing way.

Its the Digital Dave‘s and Fast Eddie‘s first year at trivia and they enjoyed giving good phone. They forgot that most calls get aired later, and we forgot to hide the animal sounds effects CDs. Either way the piece does serve as an anotomy lesson.

“Cowbell Strikes Back” gets the award for best group entry, especially since one of their players was in the Czech Repbublic when they performed their version of this slavic language pop hit. Despite the overseas Internet delay, they were pretty much N’sync. Go to YouTube and search for “Numa Numa dance” to see why this song is even known on this side of the pond.

Princess Cari has been known to have the fun of at least three people. This kind of merriment can lead to misplacement of cherished items. A trivia team completed the crowning of Princess Cari one year by bestowing her with a tiara. But another round of exuberant, hedonistic frolicing followed and the tiara was lost. Princess Cari can be heard here making a plea.
